1882-O Morgan Silver Dollar NGC MS64

1882 Morgan Silver Dollars From The Big Easy

In 1882, the notorious outlaw Jesse James was shot in the back of the head by Robert Ford, a member of his own gang for reward in Missouri, Morgan Earp was assassinated by outlaws while he was playing billiards in Tombstone, Arizona, and Thomas Edison started the first commercial electrical power plant in New York City. These Morgan Silver Dollars could have lined the pockets of the outlaws, lawmen, ranchers—and inventors—of the day. Here we have a small group of 1882-O Morgans that were struck at the fabled New Orleans Mint in 26.73 grams of highly pure 90% fine silver each graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as being in Choice Uncirculated Mint State-64 (MS64) condition.

The Fabled New Orleans Mint

The New Orleans Mint is the only mint to have been run by three governmental bodies—the United States of America, the state of Louisiana and the Confederate States of America. It began striking Morgan Silver Dollars during the second year of the coin’s release in 1879 and continued sticking the coin until 1904. New Orleans didn’t get the chance to strike the Morgan in 1921 during the coin’s final year of issue for one simple reason: the mint had closed in 1909. One of the knocks on ALL Morgans from the New Orleans Mint is their reputation as being consistently the lowest quality coins among all the mints that struck the fabled coins. That means finding a nicely graded Morgan from New Orleans is a real find!

COIN HIGHLIGHTS:

• AMERICA’S MOST POPULAR COIN – The Morgan Silver Dollar—so named for its designer, U.S. Mint Assistant Engraver George T. Morgan—has stood the test of time. Struck from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921, it was the coin of America’s “Wild West” and jingled in the coin purses of gamblers, gunfighters, soldiers, and dance hall girls.
• CLASSIC DESIGNS – Morgan’s historic design depicts a profile of Lady Liberty on the obverse while the reverse features an eagle with outstretched wings. The model used for Liberty was Miss Anna Williams of Philadelphia, who Morgan declared to have the most perfect feminine profile he had ever seen.
• STRUCK IN GLEAMING AMERICAN SILVER – Struck in 26.73 grams of highly pure 90% fine silver from the famous Comstock Lode, the Morgan Silver Dollar is a big coin 38.1 mm in diameter. When this coin was plunked down on a counter, its weight meant real money, pure and simple.
• LEGAL TENDER SILVER DOLLAR – Morgans were $1 legal tender and struck during the heyday of America’s Wild West era where coins were overwhelmingly preferred over paper currency.
• CHOICE UNCIRCULATED CONDITION – Your 1882-O Morgan Silver Dollar has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) in Choice Uncirculated Mint State-64 (MS64) condition.
• THE CASE OF THE DISAPPEARING MORGANS – While millions of Morgan Silver Dollars were struck from 1878 through 1921, massive silver meltings and the ravages of time have taken their toll. Today coin experts believe that only 15% of all Morgans ever struck remain in existence!
